Flickr Action Stream

Vote 0 Votes

I think I'm being stupid but I entered my Yahoo/Flickr username (arvind_2111 - which generates the link just fine in the other profiles listing) but I'm not getting any of the action streams from flickr, these error messages are in my Activity Log:

Error updating events for arvind's flickr_favorites stream (type flickr ident arvind_2111): syntax error at line 1, column 62, byte 62:  ============================================= ================^    at /usr/lib/perl5/site_perl/5.8.7/i686-linux/XML /Parser.pm line 187            1 hour ago

Could not fetch http://api.flickr.com/services/feeds/photos_p ublic.gne?id=arvind_2111&lang=en-us&format=at om_10: 404 Not Found

I'd love to debug this but I don't have time so any ideas?

  • try using your flickr id number rather than name, also you have a space in photop ublic and format=at om10

  • Thanks to Rob, managed to nail this down to be a problem due to the fact that I used my Yahoo username rather than the Flickr ID. To figure out how to get from your Y! username to Flickr ID, try IDGettr. Thanks Rob!

  • Thanks for that suggestion Rob. It can be a bit misleading when you use your flickr user name as it appears to link up to your account in flickr, however nothing shows in the Action Stream. When I switched to the flickr ID everything appeared immediately in the stream.

    Thanks for posting the link to IDGettr Arvind... very helpful!
